Attorney-Client Privilege
Communications with lawyers in the Office of General Counsel are protected by the attorney-client privilege, if the communications are made for the purpose of seeking legal advice on behalf of the University. Such communications may be revealed only to other University officials, on a need-to-know basis. Communications with lawyers on personal legal matters (including matters against the University) or on non-legal matters are not privileged or confidential. We may be affirmatively obligated to disclose any such communications to other University officials if the communications implicate the University's legal interests. If you are not sure whether your matter is University-related or personal, please check with us before sending us any communications that you wish to remain confidential.
Although e-mail communications are protected by the attorney-client privilege to the same extent as communications made by other means, e-mail is not completely secure. We therefore encourage you to exercise appropriate discretion in using e-mail to communicate about sensitive matters.
The Office of General Counsel does not provide legal advice or representation to individual members of the University community on matters against the University or with other personal matters. It does not provide legal advice to 久久热视频s. The Office of General Counsel will only notarize legal documents that are directly related to the business operations of the University.
